It’s never too early to start planning for the National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. Here is the official calendar for next year’s National Matches to be held in the summer of 2016. Registration for the CMP National Trophy Rifle & Pistol Matches and CMP Games Events will open on April 1, 2016. Competitors should note that most events and matches have returned to the previous dates before the adjustment for the Palma (Fullbore) World Championships in 2014 and 2015. However, the Smallbore National Championships will be held at the Wa-Ke-De facility in Bristol, Indiana, rather than at Camp Perry.

What’s your wind call
I have zero on the gun.
do we know what the wind call was for this exercise?
Would be nice if the new CMP and NRA 2016 rules would come out well in advance of the season particularly with the big CMP optic changes.
Looks like a rear fish-tail that would be very close to zero?
I go with a close zero too. But I would need to fine tune off the mirage flow.
There’s actually a significant left wind if you closely look at the flags. Velocity seems to be around 7-8 MPH. At 1000, the condition could be worth as little as 1.25ish all the way up to 3 or 4 MOA, especially if the closest and the 2nd to last flag roll to the right like the other 2.
Yah, I’d say left 2 for Palma with that last flag pointing hard right. The others could be going either way, would need to ‘scope mirage hints for what’s next. At least the masts are all straight!
Emil interesting observation.
I saw the 100 yard flag and when compared to the other targets discounted the strength of the wind. What i did notice was that targets 27, 19 and 18 had shots out the left with tgt 18 shooting a strong 8. i also noted that tgt 27, 22 and 19 shot low leaving me to believe this was early in the relay if not one of the first 2 shots. lastly because the 200 and 400 yrd flags were tailwinds i let my wind call on zero and would adjust accordingly
As you are who you are i will reexamine my understanding of near vs far wind.

Trevor, I think I recall shooting in this condition. The tendency was to a rollover that switched back and forth about 2-3 MOA per side. As the wind switched directions, you’d have to give it time to “fill in the range” before the flags (or mirage) would be truly indicative of the true condition. You could (and many did) shoot shots on zero wind during these conditions, but you had better be quick on the trigger!
thanks allot for following up with topic.
I really appreciate this bit of advice.

I will try and incorporate the “filling in of the range” next season.
